When people listen to music, they hear beat and a metrical structure in the rhythm; these perceived patterns enable coordination with the music. A clear correspondence between the tempo of actual movement (e.g., walking) and that of music has been demonstrated, but whether similar coordination occurs during motor imagery is unknown. Twenty participants walked naturally for 8m, either physically...

AIMS This study aimed to clarify the safety and efficacy of selective fast pathway ablation in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and a prolonged PR interval during sinus rhythm. Such patients have been reported to have an increased incidence of complete atrioventricular block. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the earliest retrograde atrial activation during atrioven...

The emergence of the occipital alpha rhythm on brain electroencephalogram (EEG) is associated with brain activity in the cerebral neocortex and deep brain structures. To further understand the mechanisms of alpha rhythm power fluctuation, we performed simultaneous EEGs and functional magnetic resonance imaging recordings in human subjects during a resting state and explored the dynamic relation...

Introduction: Frozen shoulder syndrome (FSS) is a common shoulder disease that causes pain and has progressive loss of shoulder motion. Codman's pendulum exercises are commonly prescribed after a shoulder injury to provide early joint mobilization, increase the flow of nutrients into the joint space, and decrease pain. This study aimed to compare the effect of Cadman's exercises and scapular rh...

A 66-year-old woman with palpitations was referred to our center for catheter ablation due to drug-refractory, common type atrioventricular nodal tachycardia (AVNRT). A selective slow pathway ablation was attempted. A fast junctional rhythm with transient ventriculoatrial block followed by transient prolongation of the A-H interval occurred immediately after the radiofrequency (RF) application ...

Circumferential ablation around pulmonary vein ostia by CARTO system was performed in 98 patients with paroxysmal and 29 with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF). Preablation and postablation activation, propagation and voltage maps were obtained. A total of 135 +/- 18 radiofrequency pulses were delivered. After a follow-up of 14.7 +/- 3.3 months, 84 patients with paroxysmal and 22 with chronic ...
